The Aries/Reliant K-cars did not show up until the 1981 model year. Their predecessors, the Aspen/Volare, were still around in 1980.

And it took Chrysler a few years to get the K-car right. The first ones were pretty horrible: slow, cheaply built especially the interior, with its hard plastic dash that was made to only look like a padded dash!
